About the school

Adapting a Growth Mind-set

We would like all children to adapt a Growth Mind-set attitude to all aspects of school life by:

• Being able to achieve their highest possible standard in all areas of the curriculum
• Being literate, numerate and able to use technology competently
• Having a strong sense of identity and high self esteem, respecting themselves, others and the environment
• Developing an enquiring mind and enthusiasm for learning
• Being able to work independently, to know their strengths and be motivated to extend their learning
• Understanding the difference between right and wrong, accepting individual responsibility, and developing a sense of justice and personal integrity
• Seeking to extend themselves in mind, body and spirit

Mission Statement

• We will provide a happy, stimulating environment where children feel at ease, motivated to learn and experience personal success.
• We will provide high quality teaching in order to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum relevant to the child. We will use varied resources and appropriate strategies to enable all children to succeed.
